Recipes
FOR CARING FOR YOURSELF, LOVED ONES, AND for LIVING IN CONNECTION WITH THE NATURAL WORLD
-
I want to share my recipes for inside and outside care with you plus some magic. They range from staple year round recipes to ones that honor seasonal botanicals.
My aim is for these recipes to be fun and an act of love, not overly laborious and daunting. They are steeped in a deep reverence for the natural world and I hope they resonate with you and you make them your own for years to come. Please feel to email me if you ever have questions or comments. I always say “follow your nose” so I hope you put your personal touch on these!
Forest Bathing Salts
This simple recipe uses foraged evergreens and salt to create a peaceful forest bathing experience at home. It is also a great way to honor and use the needles from your Christmas tree if you celebrate. Magnesium and sea salt relax tired muscles and the scent of conifers transports you to the magic of a winter forest. This is a recipe I make on repeat all winter long.
St. John's Wort Solstice Oil
St. John’s Wort is revered for it’s antibacterial, antioxidant, antiviral, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties that have been used for centuries to treat wounds, burns, sunburns, bruises, eczema, and soothe inflamed and dry skin.
Smell the Roses Face Toner & Body Mist
Nothing is more invigorating than a spritz of cool rosy mist on your face, body, and hair on a hot summer day! Use on skin as a primer for oils, or to hydrate & clarify — or mist the rose bush scent over hair as perfume.
Shining Waves Hair Oil
Just like face oil, this hair oil imparts moisture and glow. It instantly adds shine and prevents frizz and flyaways. This potent blend of hair-nourishing carrier oils and essential oils will bring life and softness to your mane.
Sea Salt & Sunshine Body Scrub
Mineral-rich sea salt helps exfoliate skin, slough off dead skin cells, helps with cell regeneration, reduces inflammation, and improves circulation. Also great to use before shaving for a much smoother shave.
Emerald Sea Detox Bath
This dreamy green bath will balance your body, relieve tired muscles, and eliminate toxins. It’s nourishing sea kelp stimulates blood flow and draws out impurities while the antioxidant-rich spirulina fights free radicals, retains moisture, and creates a beautiful jade-green hue over the bath.
Essential Lotion
This simple lotion recipe is an endlessly useful essential remedy for soothing dry skin but also light enough to easily absorb into our faces. My top remedies for dry skin are to 1, drink more of the elixir of life, water and 2, don’t be shy to use natural lotion and oils generously and daily!
Fresh & Dried Botanical Infused Oils
Infused botanical oils are a gentle but powerful way to care for and heal our bodies harnessing the magic of plants. Every step of the process is a beautiful practice: from harvesting plants, to infusing them by the moon cycle, to witnessing the alchemy of botanicals to make a new creation.
